10 Best Seafood Restaurants in Emerald Isle

“Shout out to Will for an awesome shrimp boil! Best ever!“

“Just a quick message to let you know how much we appreciate your amazing business. Not sure HOW you do it, but EVERY..SINGLE..STAFF MEMBER is friendly, welcoming and kind. They somehow compartmentalize the hectic pace of their job as well as the non-stop stream of customers (and the heat!) to serve all of us with a smile!! We appreciate you all! Thanks for an amazing dinner tonight & for all you do. Have a great weekend 😊“

“Excellent food and even better service!“

“We held a rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding at Caribsea! We were so pleased with everything from the planning to the final bill. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy, the food was fabulous, and the service was above and beyond! We had a lot of guests with food allergies… chef prepared specific plates for each of those guests, they labeled all of the food just in case we missed anyone’s allergy (we did buffet style for the majority of our 50 guests.) The final cost (even with an open bar) was a pleasant surprise. I gave Caribsea a budget and they stayed well under - I was shocked. The quality of everything was worth so much more. Everyone had a great time! I want to thank Vito, chef and the wait staff - everyone was so kind and so professional!

Vegetarian options: We had vegan, serious food allergies, and gluten free guests. Chef made plates specifically for their likings.“

“Excellent local restaurant. Great shrimp and grits. Owners are strong community supporters, as well!!“

“Early dinner ... we had shave ribeye steak subs and fries... DELICIOUSLY flavorful!! Tried the appetizer: Chicken Brocolli Cheddar Fritter Balls-- good gracious they were AMAXING!! House made ranch dressing for dipping. Another plus was really nice gift shop on site... plus HOMEMADE old family recipe fudges!!! WOW!! A really nice family feel to this place instead of just a bar hang out joint. Very nice attentive staff working here.“

“We ate at The Trading Post last night. The food was great and the staff was friendly. What stood out the most was how well the staff worked together. They were helping each other, filling glasses and delivering food for each other, the hostess never stopped moving…constantly checking to see if wait staff needed assistance. A great overall experience.“

“Hostess was a jerk..jersey... don't want any part of that“

“They won't take reservations and we called ahead for a party of 11. After spending money at their bar on drinks and appetizers, They then tried to put us at two totally separate tables and when we requested to wait for two closer tables they refused. nobody wants to meet up with their family for vacation and have to sit apart. to top it off the manager was rude!“

“Everything on the menu is great. Great service too.“
